Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★★★★★

"We worked on some math, some verbal, and some reading. I am suggesting to the student that she use the learning resources available to look up solutions to problems so that she learns the material or can approach me with questions if there is something that she does not understand. She is a good student and performing well."

★★★★★

"Reviewed past math sections the student took. She has a great sense of mechanics and once given the initial objective, can work through any problem. Only has trouble with time management which is being handled via 2 minute increment system. Will assign some light math work for her to review."

"Today we focused on the reading comprehension section. I gave her a practice section to work on and timed her to see how she could work under pressure. She did quite well, and finished with 7 minutes to spare. She did quite well on all of the questions except for the inference questions. So afterwards, we spent time doing a few inference questions from the practice book. At the end, we talked about the writing section and I had her practice forming a thesis statement and making an outline in less than 5 minutes. She will time herself in writing an essay this week for practice."

★★★★★

"The student and I continued our review for the SAT upper examination. In specific, we covered data analysis, probability and started on area/geometry. We did encounter a few problems which were a tad difficult for him. However, after reviewing the material, he had no problem solving these sorts of questions. He is very close to being ready for the exam; I have advised his parents to the possibility of taking an assessment exam real soon. "

★★★★

"Today I introduced the student to the structure and content of the test. I then gave her numerous tips, tricks and "contexts"ù that we would be incorporating into our test prep.
We then spent most of our time learning to outline and structure the essay portion of the test. She was unfamiliar with the roman numeral/letter outline structure, so I taught her that. She was assigned both a creative writing essay and an opinion essay for homework.
"

★★★★★

"We not only did reading comprehension practice but also a quantitative practice test. He did well on the reading comprehension portion because he employed the test taking strategies we went over but not as well on the math portion. We will continue to work on this. I gave him the usual homework but urged more practice since the exam is coming up soon."

★★★★★

"I specifically covered a new verbal section with her in addition to the math. I did note an improvement in verbal. As tomorrow is our last session I will spend it doing math."

★★★★★

"The session went well - - we reviewed a Section 4, UL Quantitative to account for the missing section on the student's last Practice Exam.
The student did extraordinarily well, and there seemed to be a direct relation between his mood and how well he did. He was very excited today and his answers reflected heightened attention.
"

★★★★

"The student and I went over some math practice she did in her review book. We practiced some verbal sections and reading sections too. I think she needs to work on practicing each section while timing herself and using the strategies we have discussed and practiced. "

★★★★★

"Our session today was focused entirely on reading comprehension. We worked through some high level passages with questions based in authorial purpose and point of view, and the student rose to the challenge attention-wise. We proved multiple times that simply taking a moment to look through them all could avoid simple errors."

★★★★

"In math, we covered logic problems and defined operation problems. Though he didn't immediately get the problems, the student understood the concepts once we walked through a few. In verbal, we conducted the first part of a reading diagnostic exam. We will complete it next session. I left him with some logic and defined operation problems as well as some vocabulary review."

★★★★★

"The student and I began by going over general test information and strategies, such as the section types, how the test is scored, and when to guess. We then discussed the quantitative section. She needed to review several of the concepts we saw on practice problems, but she was very quick to learn and apply rules for percent word problems and algebraic equations. I asked her to complete a practice quantitative section before our next meeting so we can continue identifying areas of need. She did very well in our practice over the verbal section. After some examples, she applied the appropriate strategies to synonym questions and did well rephrasing the relationships between words in analogies. We spent a little time going over the various question types on the reading section, and we will resume this practice in our next meeting."
